“Female business traveller”

This is a great vintage boutique hotel in the heart of downtown. Walking distance to lots of shops and restaurants, quick cab ride to airport, hospitals. Two on-site restaurants. The pub was cozy with a great beer selection but my meal was lousy and the waitresses seemed to cater to the male customer. Next time will try the more upscale of the two. Staff was very accommodating of my request to check in early on a very cold day. Spacious room and bathroom. Not the most modern, but clean, comfortable and very convenient.

“Very scary hallway”

I was very excited to stay here as I love the older boutique style hotels, I acutally booked a room here three months in advance of our trip. This hotel has a lovely lobby and the room was, as expected very small but recently upgraded with tile bathroom and a great bed. There was some rather out of place details like the heavy commercial type door on the room and the steel security door at the top of the elegant main staircase. I was expecting some construction but the level was a little overboard, I don't think guests should be places on floors with hallways that have dangling wiring. There were only two small tabel lamps to provide light down our wing and nothing down the other wing I don't feel this was safe and It did make me questions the avalibitly of safety features such as fire alarms. There were also large amounts of construction debris on the floor and agaist the walls. The parking was an issue and we opted to park at our traveling companions hotel and take a taxi to ours. Had we kept the car with us we would have parked on the street rather than the back parking lot. This is not a great area of town for parking in back allies and the double parking would be an issue for leaving the next morning. Overall the staff was nice (though there was really no contact) and the bed was fabulous, perfect place to stay if the only thing you want a room for is sleeping in.

“Saskatchewan Stay”

Neat older hotel. Central to downtown. The bar downstairs had over 100 beers and was lively till 2am. Breakfast at the hotel was a great value and great quality in a nice atmosphere.
